You've probably heard about the importance of having a growth mindset, but what exactly does that mean? Let’s start by reading this quote from Carissa Romero’s Tch blog post:
“People with a fixed mindset believe intelligence is innate. This belief can make school a threatening place. It becomes a place to go to learn how smart you are — or how smart you’re not. People with a growth mindset, on the other hand, believe intelligence can be developed. For these students, school can be an exciting place, as it provides them with an opportunity to learn and develop their intelligence.”
Let's help make school an exciting place for all learners by modeling and teaching about growth mindset. Start by diving into the questions below or take a look at the resources on this page. Let’s grow our brains together as we learn, ask questions, and share our experiences around this exciting topic.

This was a great article! I especially love the piece about a fixed mindset leading people to interact with knowledge as something to prove or not to prove.

I believe in the plasticity of the Brain so I believed that all of my exceptional students have the potential to learn and grow if they are engaged to their lessons and taught well by certified teachers.

An excellent article! I learnt that every very child with effort and guidance can increase their intellectual abilities. It is important to engage them into challenges task, setting goals and equip them with strategies to reach their goals.
